Having problems with your Samsung HZ10W / WB500 Digital Camera ?

HEY ! my Samsung WB500 won't turn on...I've just bought it, well it was a present but its brand new AND i've charged it and everything, but it won't turn. need help ASAP.

Answers :

I just had the same problem. All I did to solve it was take the battery out, scratch the contact on the battery (CAREFULLY) and put the battery back in and now it works. The contacts must have oxadised a little. This is not good as far as quality is concerned but it was an easy fix.Hope this helps!PS I love my WB500!!!

Hello, I have a brand new sony cybershot dsc-w310 camera and its worked great for the first 2 days ive had it. Now it doesnt seem to want to turn on. When you press the on/off button, the green power indicator light turns on but absolutely nothing else happens. When you puch the on/off button again the light does not go out. The only way to make the light turn off is to remove the battery for a minute. The battery is definately fully charged. The camera is brand new and I cant find any tro

Canon SD30 I just recieved my brand new CanonSD30 in the mail, it says that i need to charge the battery on the charger for 90 minutes and the light will be orange until it is fully charged and should be taken off the charger immediately when the light turns green.

I just bought a new nexxtech 16gb sdhc memory and everytime i turn on my camera it says the memory needs to be formatted. after choosing "continue" when it says formatting will delete everything it shows then formatting screen then says the memory card needs to be formatted... again. i've gone through this whole song and dance at least 30 times and still nothing. it's a brand new memory card so i don't know what the problem is. help please?

I would check your C663 manual to make sure your camera is capable of reading a 16GB card. Because thats a fairly large drive for such a a legacy camera I would also insert the card in your PC and format it there to make sure it is functional. Mayb ...

My Vivitar Vivicam 5399 is refusing to turn on. It has worked perfectly up until a couple of weeks ago, when it started to turn off at random moments, usually soon after I had turned it on. Now, it doesn't turn on at all. The batteries are brand new, and I have tried putting them in different ways round. I need it for a competition in two days time, can you help me?

Have you tried to see if the battery door is completely shut? This is usually the problem with many digital cameras with batteries. Clean the battery door and where the battery touches the metal of the door. Check to see if the door is completely flu ...

Charging problems I have recently bought a new ac adapter for my olympus stylus 600 and when i plug it in to charge it the camera will turn on and i can use it but it doesn't charge the battery. Can this be a problem with the cord or is the battery bined. Soon as you unplug the camera it shuts off and thats it. Ive tried charging it when it's off and when its on and still end up with the same results. Help me pls.....

The AC adapter is only used as an alternate power source for the camera. It is not intended to charge the battery for the camera in any way. In order to charge the camera's lithium battery you will need the charger that is designed for that battery ...

Camera won't turn on. The battery wasn't dead, and I tried charging it to full, but nothing. It's a very lightly used camera (maybe re-charged the battery twice) and it has never been dropped, exposed to extreme, heat, moisture etc. Still looks brand new. Please help!

This model will blow the fuse very easily. If you can solder really well you can replace it yourself or replace the entire mainboard of the camera.I believe we have it listed for about $65 on our site, please let us know if we can help! ...
